The Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) representing five record companies sued a woman for downloading and sharing music. She denied the charge and fought the suit. The plantiffs lacked proof but then turned around and sued her two children. The RIAA claims one of them admitted downloading, but their lawyer, present at the hearing, denied that an admission was made. It also charged them with sharing recordings (link here).

I wonder if it is possible to fight back by organizing a boycott of those five record companies. One can dream.

When you are prosecuting a commercial incentive on behalf of a cartel of corporations against a sequence of families then something is seriously corrupt with the judicial system. And this is just the icing of top of the fact that the industry's viability can be jeopoardised by children, which all by itself should sound alarm bells.

One of the solutions I've proposed before is to prevent corporation suiing citizen, i.e. only permit corp vs corp or citizen vs citizen. And of course, if citizens have a complaint against corporations they form a corporation of their own to do this.

A corporation is not a person - it is inequitable for a virtual entity with no human suffering upon fund exhaustion to sue a private individual who would suffer.

A variation could be that any individual can opt to form a corporation identical to themself which is sued in place. This need only be capitalised by a $100 say.
